This is Kitty Spirit, he's been missing since New Years Day, but he does have another house he visits; an older lady who spoils him rotten, so he is a little chunkier now than on these pix. This is where he has been staying until 2 weeks ago, the 10th January.
The lady who's house he stays over at has been told of a road traffic accident involving a black kitty at the bottom of her road which makes us all very concerned.
Now... knowing Spirit very well makes me question this, as he is far from stupid, this cat is a real cat... he wanders, he stays out all night, he brings me severed rats heads to my bed, and normally he stays right away from cars but he always checks in with either one of his houses.
But he hasn't done...
Spirit is micro-chipped, he wears a silver reflective collar with tag with veterinary surgery information and my own engraved onto it as well as THREE bells... he's sod for the birds...
SO HAVE YOU SEEN THIS CAT!!?
Once he gains your trust he is extremely affectionate, and dribbles immensely while he purrs, he will happily sit and stalk birds come rain or shine. He's not a fussy eater but loves eggs, boiled, scrambled, poached, you name it, he'll have it! He is used to other animals and children so doesn't scare easily.
He may be seen by bird feeders, with squirrels in his mouth, eating mice and bringing in rats... he growls like a dog if you try to take any of his catch away from him but on the whole he does tend to kill it rather than play with it.
The accident happened on Stanway Road by the junction to Hazel Road in Whitefield if you know any further info on this please contact me via the blog email.
We just want to know either way... as at the moment we're calling him everyday, he has a brother Shadow who is looking for him and a 5yo boy who is missing him very much.
We do think it is possible he has wandered, got into a delivery truck, trapped in a shed/garage somewhere as he is adventurous.
We have contacted the local vets and sanctuaries but nothing has been reported.
The Spirit Of The Cat -
At the end of the garden, JD got a surprise,
when through the hedge he saw two bright yellow eyes.
As he walked slowly closer, he crouched down to see
a small fluffy cat, as black as could be.
He held out his hand, and said "hello,"
but the cat just hissed and crouched down low.
JD thought, "What a silly cat,
Grandma's Tabs doesn't behave like that."
JD was lost for words as the cat ate the bread put out for the birds!
Underneath the fluffy fur, he saw he was thin
and watched him searching through the grey bin.
We called him Spirit and he soon understood,
that his life in our house could be good.
Plenty of food and a warm place at night,
and if he didn't want to be stroked, then that was alright.
He soon settled down, and his coat glistened
and when JD spoke, he sat there and listened.
He knew he was thankful for all he had done,
a special new friendship had now just begun.
